Ottawa River M37 Earthquake

Yeah!  We have our own earthquake!  There's a fantastic earthquake mechanism around Cornwall, that brought us the 1944 Cornwall earthquake.  But the seismic monitoring hasn't been up to the standard to resolve it.  I wonder what NW trending basement structure is responsible.  Maybe it's just something parallel to the Champlain rift of the Ottawa-area failed rift.
